Welcome! MFP is the best! I've really enjoyed using it as it's made me more mindful about eating healthy foods, exercising, and keeping my water intake up. You can do it!

Welcome! I love MFP too. I started at the end of January and have lost 12 pounds so far. I get to log my food and learn over time what's best for me and what's not. I can log my water intake each day and really try to push myself to meet my goals. I've really gotten into exercising as well which keeps me energized! Good…

Welcome and good luck! I have visited Switzerland before and have friends who live there. It's a beautiful country!

Great job! You look good!

Congrats on making it to 20 off! I'm 5'8 and so seeing your before/after pics has been inspiring to me. I can see the the difference and you look incredible!

This is what I got: Your score is 1.83. Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be…

There are so many options but I'd consider grilled chicken, baked or smoked salmon with or without a glaze sauce, or even a super long sub. You can also serve both veggie and fruit platters. For drinks, you can serve water, tea, or wine (red has less sugar). Caesar salad is another option. Hope that helps some.

Welcome! I work out at home myself and do several things. I like t jog in place a lot. I also follow the EA Sports Active and Wii Fit Plus to do strength training, yoga, and cardio. If you're able to, you can get a jump rope and some hand weights to start with. Workout DVD's are another way to work out at home. If you have…

I eat the Pure Protein bars. I get them in bulk at Sam's Club. They're delicious!

I love oatmeal so I may give this a try and see if I like it. Thanks for sharing!

Get the polar F7. It comes with the adjustable chest strap and interchangeable battery. I have it and love it!

Congrats! I've only lost an inch off my hips so far but hoping for more!

Before and during for me. I'm usually good about eating as well as I can as long as I can have a little bit of chocolate. I bought a bunch of Cadbury Eggs to last me a while. I allow myself one per month and as long as I get my chocolate fix everything's all good. lol

Hope everyone is having a great week. I've had to take a break for a little bit due to a sprained ankle. It happened while I was doing the jump squats on EA Active. I'll be glad when it's healed so I can get back to exercising more.

I'm thinking of getting a juicer too. The Montel Williams one looks pretty awesome so I'm thinking of trying that one.

I'll try walking on my heels. I have not iced them though.

I use: Vanilla Low Fat Yogurt Fresh Blueberries Frozen Strawberries Banana Sometimes I'll use frozen mixed fruits (which have strawberries, peaches, mango, and pineapple) instead of just strawberries and blueberries. Fresh Blackberries are very good. I like to eat Raspberries too but they're not high up on my list for…

Completely understand. Having support from people who are going through the same thing can be very helpful. MFP is just the place to find a really good support system. Logging every day and being active on the message boards will help you stay motivated. We can all do this!

I did a Mud Run years ago and it was awesome!!! It was in Roanoke, VA and sponsored by the USMC. It was very challenging. We had to run straight up a mountain and then back down. Then, we had to get into the cold water of the Roanoke River and cross it by foot to the other side. We dived into mud pits to crawl on our…

Welcome to MFP! You're right in what you said about how easy it is to overeat and not realize it. I think it's good that you try to encourage your friends to join you here but it's not very easy to accomplish. I've done the same. You'll like it here and find that people are very nice and supportive. Good luck to you in…

Pretty interesting. Makes you wonder about every other place when you eat out.
